A while ago, I’ve bought the ISDT C4 EVO USB-C-powered battery charger to replace my MAHA C9000 (of which there seems to be a new “Pro” model available).

To not clog up my provider’s disk space and, because I don’t want to donate all these old conversations to Google, I’ve setup my own email archive using dovecot.

A few days later I’ve enable Google Latitude on it and my first checkin was on 31 March 2010 at 16:20:48 CEST. And apart from when I was without… Read More »
A while ago I was fed up with Android Wear smartwatches and bought a Garmin Fenix 5 Plus. After using it for a while I started to explore the possibilities beyond the manufacturer specifications. This lead to a firmware patcher based upon work from Alex Whiter (who sadly passed in 2019). That patcher modified the… Read More »
A while ago I’ve acquired an old Tektronix TDS784D oscilloscope. Originally, it came with these enabled options: While this already is a lot, there’s still option 2C (Comm signal analyser) which is a pure-software option. (In later production runs, the device might also already contain the necessary hardware for the bigger memory option 2M. Check… Read More »
